I am a pseudo-musician. Occasionally I use an amplifier during a musical performance. While I am not classically trained, nor is my voice superbly polished, the amplifier makes me sound better than I really am.
What does that amplifier do?
- It allows me to project my music without as much stress and effort.
- It pushes my music further, extending its reach.
- It brings clarity to the subtleties and nuance of my music.
- It gives my music far greater “signal” strength.
The best leaders I know play a similar role in their organizations. They are excellent amplifiers. They clean, clarify, and push the best efforts of others.
